SCIM problem ...

Hello,

I'm using zh_HK as locale.
I love SCIM as the input method
But using SCIM in Ubuntu is not so smooth.

(1) no default input method for zh_HK
I installed ubuntu with zh_HK as locale but there is no chinese input method
I once edited an init file manually for the input method but there are
many problem with that since dapper.

I then found that there is im-switch structure for Chinese input for
zh_CN and zh_TW. I now solve the problem with this command:
sudo ln -s /etc/alternatives/xinput-zh_TW /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/zh_HK

(2) fail passing * to SCIM
I don't know what this problem is about. SCIM uses * as universal character
match. However, seems GNOME in Ubuntu DOES NOT pass this character to
the SCIM. I don't know how to solve this. Help!


Wish ubuntu a better support for Chinese user.

Regards,
Koala Yeung
